Subject: RE: [uddi-promo-discuss] Promotion of UDDI
I would recommend an excellent white paper about UDDI ebxml coexistence by Joe Chiusano of Booz Allen. He is an expert on the subject of registry coexistence and XML specification. IBM and Microsoft have pushed the WS-I stack a little too hard. By that I mean IBM Web Services marketing which focuses on WSI, UDDI and BPEL as a remedy for every process management and integration issues, has been a little shortsighted, in my opinion. The fact is WS-I is still a lower order construct. Ebxml is real (just look at Rosetta net and the excellent work by the Austalian public sector). But so is UDDI. As Brian says--if vendors want to see adoption its time to drive some reconciliation. This is not an either decision. Its very interesting to me that some user organizations are in some cases doing both, without realizing it. Different teams in different contexts are using different approaches to integration. -----Original Message----- From: Young, Brian R [mailto:brian.r.young@BOEING.COM] Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 5:23 PM To: uddi-promo-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: RE: [uddi-promo-discuss] Promotion of UDDI ebXML Registry is an OASIS TC. This is one of the technologies that grew out of the joint OASIS / UN/CEFACT [United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UN/CEFACT and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EbXML] effort several years ago. An important issue for large international companies is seeking convergence or coexistence between UDDI and the ebXML Reg/Rep (Registry/Repository). Bottom line, we prefer to support one technology rather than two. If you are going to promote UDDI, then it might be useful to develop a profile of current or potential users. Who is using UDDI? Who is using ebXML? Have you even heard of either technology? Are you using the technologies internally, externally or both? What product(s) are you using? Etc. I don't know how you might go about collecting this information, but it helps to "know the territory". (Disclaimer: I am not entirely unbiased. My colleague Kathryn Breininger chairs the ebXML Registry TC). Brian R.
